The spring activated door gets a lubing, helper had a nice streak down his back this past peak from it dripping. I also enjoy the handbrake lube that sprays all over me like a dog pissing on my leg for the next few days after a PMI.
The thing about PMI's that irritate me is our mechanics never tell us when they are going to pull the pkg car from the lineup which does not allow us to write up all of the little things that need to be corrected that do not affect the operation of the pkg car. We also have to walk down to the shop to gather our personal items and handcarts to put them in the replacement vehicle for the day.

Keep running notes on the back of the DVIR book and let your mech know they're there. As far as your belongings, wait till you go on the clock and stroll over to get them.
One of the worst ideas I have heard... Why don't you write up the stuff as it fails or as you want it repaired or adjusted? That way when your mechanic does the PMI, he won't have your car for a week trying to fix all the crap that is wrong.
x2. We call it the wish list. Little stuff gets fixed next time it's in the shop.Keep running notes on the back of the DVIR book and let your mech know they're there. As far as your belongings, wait till you go on the clock and stroll over to get them.
I'm cursed, my truck was taken out today and I had the pleasure of driving one with a safe still installed in the 4000 section to give you an idea of the age.
